Biography

 A  researcher on various veterinary bacterial vaccine development projects, ranging from proof of concepts through to clinical phase studies. My main research interest are in immunology (immune correlates of protection) and bacterial vaccine development, with particular focus on protective biomarker identification and antigen discovery, adjuvant selection and vaccine formulation, lastly development of techniques or methods to determine vaccine efficacy and immunogenicity.
